From tie MAir 1 Ann JcvkSAl.
ONE of the jrreatefl evils to <*?hich republics
have been exposed, i« instability of councils a fluc
tuation of law» and schemes-os policy produced by
the change of parties and faflions. Thi» result may •
be properly called a government of men, rather than.
oflawi. In this country and under the conftitu'i-,
on of the United States, it will be by no means a
difficult thing to avoid this evil, if the people have
discernment to comprehend the true principles of
the government, and virtue enough to endure them
in prailice. They will (hew in their eledlions, whe
ther they this penetration and firmnefs. If
;thry elect men who lire fiiendly to systems fonnded
in'the true spirit of the con litution jif they tcjf&
candidates who are opposed to good mcafures which
have been adop'ed, and thi; fuccefiof which and of
others connedled with them, depends upun (lability,
and perseverance j if they have fagatityUo com
prehend the system into which public affairs inter
nal and external have been arranged, and wisdom
1) enough to give that fyltem a $ if
they have confidence ia the great ana enlightened
man who retires full of glory from chair of
»" state, they will name a fucceflor who will pursue the
thread of his views, give continuity to his fyllem,
V and carry into pra&iee those inestimable political
'' precepts which he has fanflioned at his parting id
jj vice to his grateful country. Who among does
not glow in reading that address from the Prelidentv
in which he has so affectionately developedthe iotind
ptinciples that have governed his public conduct—
who among us who does not acknawledgie the pro
foundnels of his maxims, the simplicity of his fyf
tem of general federal policy, the wisdom of his
advice !—ln the choice of the eleA'ort of his fuc
cefTor, we qughtconftantly to keep in view a succes
sor who is attached to the constitution and the mea
sures «f the Picfident ; and who will carry into
pra&ice that system which our beloved Wa(hingtoa
has adopted and recommended to his,fellow-citi- a
zens. This will be fotne consolation for our loss ; '
and thus will the spirit of that great man still pre- I
e fide throngh the action of his principles, over the t
affairs from wliich he retires. The bleffug which. I
* heaven confers occasionally upon nations, n giving I
e them men of uncommon wisdom and virtue, would '
be in a measure defeated, were the influence f
of such men toceafe with their retirement or their c
* death. The life of man is short. The duration c
e of wisdom may be made for ages to futvive him r
c who gives its precepts » current weight in a nation, c
This is the immorality that ;s uuc to such a man as a
n Washington. This would truly be to continue him *
amang us for ages. f
Of the names brought into view as his successor f
the vice-president, Mr. Adams, appears most likely i
to meet withthe approbation of the federal men, in f
the union ; and it may, from hiecbaraflii,i>e fair- I
Ij ly presumed that he will be proud to tread in the f
„ fleps of the President, and deserve the elevated fta- a
a tion intended him. That Mr. Adams should have r
been the man of the federal men, is not at all an t
unexpe&ed thing. To have been the fecend man t
in the choice of the nation, ever llnce the adept!- 1
- on of our excellent conßitution must at once have t
prepared both him and the nation for a higtiergrade s
in his favour, whenever the President should de- i
e cline. To overlook hivn in such a juufhire, would J
be a puerile inconsistency, nnjuft to him and unwor- 1
t thy of the people. What so natural, »s that hav- 1
, ing lorg diftingtiilhed him next to their firtl, when :
that firft retires, to make him firft. A firm eti- >
- lightened and try'd friend and defender of the re- c
publican representative government, as balanced in c
our conltitution, the union will- uave in him, th* a
friend of liberty and law, asfecured under our pre- i
sent unrivalled political foim. They will "have in 1
him, that fame zeal for the real independence of his' (
country which rendered him so cor.fptcuous during t
our glorious revolution j and that attachment to 3
our constitution which has prrfcrved the noil un- (
r d iminifhed sympathy between him and the Prefi- t
dent, in all the concuflions of public opinion, since r
the adoption of the federal government..
As a foreign minifler, his character stone with f
splendor upon two impoitant and memorable occa- 1
fior.s: the Dutch negociition and the treaty of c
pease with Great-Britain. In the firtt he was o- v
bilged to call forth all his address. . Those who are 1
at all read in the political affairs of the seven Unit- t
ed Provinces, know that the federate form of go- b
vernment which was then in force, was perhaps the t
mod complicated, and flow in farming its it\s, of t
any power in Europe. To take Holland, the most i
important of the seven, as an inflance—ln this d
province there are eighteen cities, which were to c
I many purposes sovereign bodies. Each sent its e
deputies or Hates to the states of the province. The v
. sovereign power of the republic was in the Rates «- e
, ««77/, vhich confided of the deputies or states sent 1
, from the assembly of each piovince, and formed three o
1 B rand called the JUits general, the
. co u "cil of state, and the chamber of a counts li
. Each canftitnent a fl rm bly sent as many deputies as r
; it tbc t proper; all from each province being but St
1 one vote, as was the caf? in oiJt old coufedctation con- p
, R ' cr '- L P°" q»e«>ons of a general nature biforc-'o
, the states general, it w . s u s ua l ,ake up the but
, hnels ad referendum, i.e. to f„nd the qneltion u. t
the Uatesot each province, for them to deliberate a
upon, and inflrud their deputies in the states re- a
neral how to vote. In cases of peace and war,- f
and forming alliances, jt wasneceffary that all the ti
ptovinces fhoulo concur ; and when the question b
was thus sens ,0 the states of xU province, t i;a , ,f. „
iembly uevei thought themfelvet at liberty to ckcidc a
until the regencies and councils and folates of each o
city, or separate republic in the province, | c
ed itidiputies in the assembly of that province. I t ~
was upon this disjointed and complicated political
machinery, that it was Mr. Adam,', duty make J
new and great impressions, and h„ praise ,0 succeed p
I,IS eHd «vours. He .xeompHihed his ebica- f,
a treaty with America : and the defeat of the pa
cfic mediation of Ruflia in favour of Great-Bri
tain, in the mid ft of the mod circum f
fiances., The ftadtholder was related to the king ti
of E'ig.and, the interell of Great Britain f t

■ lo Mr. Aditftii. Ii ofcupiui t' e court at the Ha»u:
it (hut the doors of their high mightinesses a
gaind him : for they refufed his letters of credence, i
until by the force of reason, indudrioufly exerted <
among the con(\itu«nt assemblies and fubaitcrn dc- i
partments of power in the several province* and
i , towns, he triumphed over the English party, the
J,' prince of Orange, and the phlegmatic complexion
of the whole country.
*' On his arrival at the Hague, he had presented
re a memorial to their high mightinesses, in which he
'f forcibly and affe&ingly pourt rayed the features of
m analogy between the United States and the Dutch
f natior. Finding that a poweiful party prevented
jf him from any opportunity of presenting his cre
>(j dentists, and qualified as he was to avail himfetf of t
' those means of reaching the very interior of their
,j cabinet, through their condituiional organs, which
their form of government afforded, he took every
] laudable step that Could insure indru&ioiss in his fa-
vour, in the different cities and provinces. In a
r _ few months after his memorial had been sent by the
m dates general (o the refpeftive afferpblies, we find

, in petitions of merchants and others to their refpee

indruftions to the deputies from each province to

K Lours with success. w

a Mr. Finxo, '1
i THE advocates of the Jrfferfon ticket assured
. all those whom they succeeded in duping, and ma- I
; ny whom they did not, that, if he was Prefid*nt, c<
. he would be a firm friend to order. He would he
: energetic enough, he would ditippoint his oppofers
», by his vigorous and truly federal adminiflration.
r No man that knows him will deny, that he, like bj
1 mod of the democrats, is fufticifutly arbitrary in 1c
c his disposition, and as impatient of contioul or ~
r contraction as any chiel magistrate should be. N(i
i doubt when President, lie will love power—he has
l not been accufcd of hating it, notwithdanding his
. cunnir.g retreat from office. But the quelh'on is,
i and it touehes the vitals of the public 'liberty, how ,
i will he try to get it, and to hold it ? Will he, or will -
his friends fer him, get a foreign incendiary to come
r forward, like Genet, with an appeal to the people e2
p in the very nick of time, while the election is de
l pending, and to threaten the country, with the re
. fentmentof an ally if we should notchufehim Pre- r3
: fident a fccorid time ? Four years- hence, the fnme iei
- abominations may be repeated again, that we mast
c re cleft a President that will pleafethe French ; and aR
i thus we may have a perpetuity in the office created
i by foreign influence, or more correctly a vice roy, m
- like a lord lieutenant of Ireland, who would at all vi
: times dand in awe of his maker. If Americans los
e are so Junk, so unspeakably mean in edimation and
- spirit as to take the law in this manner, from any
J power on earth, bondage is too good for them. Like an
Poland, where the French once governed, like Hoi
land where they dill govern, America should he
annihilated—Sons of insolence go from our towns
where corruption and clubs can btay a mob, to our ve
country villages where virtue, patriotism and real in- a >:
dependence (till rtign, and you will find your vile ft;
arts arc lod—you will find Washington moie belo- wl
ved and truded than Adet—and that our husband- a,:
inen owe moie duty to America than to France. tx
Come to York county, or go to Jerky, orConncc
ticut, and write manifefloes tlut will fun the citi
zens whom Mr. Jcfferfon calls the cholen people of kii
God, because they culiivate the earth. Our coun- wl
try would not then have toliear the unexampled out
rage of such a manifedo as Mr. Adet's. P s
But to return ;o Mr. Jcfferfon, if he or his
friends seek an election, and a re-election by foreign
- aid, he is the lad and the word man that could be
f chofcn. - The appeal is to fails, and in a country,
• where, tho' it is easy to make dupes, it is peculiar
: ly difficult to shelter them from ridicule and con- to
- tempt, tie authority of these facts is already eda
• bhihed. The clubs may clamor, the jacobins and
: their pensioned printers may lie, Mr. Miuitier may '*><
f threaten the government, and coax the people. The
t impression is made, and it is the imprcffion of in- 'C "
5 dignation and infu'teri national independence, which
i cannot be erased. If it could he, if any foreign
i cn.iifary could meddle in our elections with success, ,
: ve should firk as Poland did. Tt would be a mock- J]
• eiy to celebrate lhe 4th of July—No—it would
then be proper to celebrate the hoind loth of Au- s et
; gust in it's dead. bet
• But do the advocates of Mr. Jcffeifo ( really be- P l '
lieve, that he would support public ci der, "and real J
> national independence, as they pretend i Do they
Relieve, that Fiance u-ould be a mrre ally, without 1
- power over our affairs ? that out lyilt tns would be 16
' upheld— property sacred—hanks and funding fyf 'j l '
tems, those objefls oj democratic abomination, un-
' touched—the government firm snd energetic—?n;l
an impartial neu:rality oiairtau ed ?—Q the depth i
and Ihe breadth of party impudence ! Was it for eif
1 such a man, was it lor tuch a fydem of admmidra- 40
tion, that all the agents of a foreign power were 8 }
btrz-zing treason in our ears ? Was liaehc's paper
paid for this ? Did the wluiky couniirn defite such
a new order of things, or, intlead ol it, that kind
of licence that citizen Fauchet, in his intercepted *7°
letters, has dated as their right ? Docs Mr. AJD '
%viih such a fydem ? Do the advocates of the de
teded Virginiaamendmenis really intcred themselves r , a
in Mr. J's election, because they think he will sup- j
port the conditution, which he was said to abhor
from the hrfl ? Or, on the contrary, do they think j
he wili patronise that motley jargon of imbecility —
and mifchicf ? Why, in a word, do thefons of cau
